English term or phrase: "I have dirty blonde hair" (colloquial)
Hola a todos:
La frase entre asteriscos es la que me convoca. Para ser sincera, sé que es una expresión coloquial pero ¡no sé lo que significa y no la encuentro! ¿Alguien que me diga el significado y en lo posible una expresión equivalente en español?
¡Muchas gracias!

agree  Laura Escorihuela Martínez: Si buscas la frase en Google verás que la gente la usa para describir el color de su cabello, no parece ser pues nada coloquial y mucho menos porno. Así que "rubio cenizo/a". Me suena más con A, pero DRAE lo da como adj, así que debe concordar!

dirty blonde hair
cabello rubio lavado


Explanation:
Ironically, in Spanish we call it "washed" (as in wishy-washy) blonde hair

dirty blonde es ese rubio indefinido que llamamos \"lavado\" en español.

"dirty blonde" coloquial para "ash blonde" > rubio ceniza / cenizo (depende del país)


Explanation:
Hola, Cecilia.
Ya encontré referencias que lo confirman:

"What color is your hair? -
Well - I'm not sure what color my hair is - I think it would be classified
as **dirty blonde/ash blonde** but maybe that's wishful thinking...".

pub121.ezboard.com/ fdottisweightlosszonefrm98.showMessage?topicID=81.topic
=======================
"Kay is an **ash blonde, or "dirty blonde"** if you prefer, and her
hair falls over her shoulders, giving her a bouncy look".

www.hardcore-blonde-sex.us/ blonde-teen-sex-picture.html
========================
Lo de "cenizo" o "ceniza" depende del país:
En España se dice "rubio ceniza".
En Latinoamérica, depende de cada país:

VENEZUELA

"Peso, 53 Kgrs. Color de Piel, Morena Clara. Color de Ojos, Verdes. Color de Cabello, **Rubio Cenizo**."

¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
ARGENTINA
"Estudios: Licenciatura en Bellas Artes,U. De Paul, Ch. Estatura: 1,58. Color de Cabello: **Rubio ceniza**.
Color de ojos: Azules. Padres: Edward y Rosemary...".

Discúlpame tantos cambios.
Un cordial saludo.
:)
